Yikes! What's happening to Hoffenheim

Sunday, 22 March 09, 07:38 PM

What has happened to Hoffenheim? From first to fifth place. Only five points behind. Love to see them win the Bundesliga this season. It would be a great story. Just promoted to the Bundesliga this season from Bundesliga II last season after finishing in second place. Putty some great money for this ball club and the small community of Hoffenheim.

Cool Soccer (Futbol) tricks with some great humor. My league director found this and brought it to my attention.

Bundesliga

Tuesday, 23 December 08, 11:57 PM

As much as I like Bayern Munich and Schalke 04, it would be so nice to see the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim win it all. They were in the Regionalliga Süd. In 2006-07, they came in second so they were promoted to the Bundesliga 2nd Division. In 2007-08, they came in second which once again the were promoted to 1st Division. They are currently sitting in First Place in the Bundesliga. They have a ways to go, it would be so sweet to see a newly promoted team win it all. Especially with their history. Hopefully the Bundesliga break will not hurt them but we will find out in January 31. Hoffenheim stumbled against Schalke, hopefully they will put that behind them and pour it on the second stretch.
The team is putting some real money for players to build a great team. A small town with a winning team. That's got to be great for the community.

How sweet-Barcelona vs. Real Madrid

Saturday, 13 December 08, 04:04 AM

How sweet it is. Barcelona vs. Real Madrid. Barcelona is having a great season The La Liga Champs, Real Madrid is struggling. So much so, the let their coach go. Former Sevilla Coach has taken over for Real Madrid. Despite Barcelona's success this season and Real Madrid's struggles, it will be a great game. Real Madrid will play hard for this one and Barcelona will not take Real Madrid lightly. It should be a great match. I think Barcelona will win but it will not be easy.

I love Spanish La Liga!

Spanish La Liga (Saturday's Matches)

Saturday, 29 November 08, 11:05 PM

FC Barcelona vs. Sevilla FC: Well, my favorite team Sevilla could not pull it off against a stronger Barcelona. Barcelona out controlled the position againts Sevilla very well. Sevilla had a tough time against Messi and Eto. Except for the three goals, Sevilla's goal keeper did have some nice saves. Two goals of the goal keeper was in a bad position so Messi was able to score.Messi's speed and quickness was too much for Sevilla. Towards the end of the game, there was a bad call on a off side call against Sevilla. Fabiano protested (I agree he was not offsides) which resulted him getting a red card.

Real Madrid vs. Getafe: I will see the replay tonight. I miss this suprising result. Real Madrid losses this match. Their defense so far this season has not been good. Real Madrid has injuries. It's going to be pretty tough for Real Madrid to defend their title if they continue play like they have been this season. Barcelona is a much better team this season. Real Madrid will need to get their act together quickly. Real Madrid will play Barcelona on December 14.

Wow, Barcelona poors it on again

Sunday, 09 November 08, 02:18 AM

Barcelona is on a roll once again. Blowing out Valladolid. Valladolid is a weak team though.
Real Madrid edged Promoted Malaga. I will have to keep an eye on Malaga.

We will see how Sunday's La Liga Matches fair out.

I most likely will not get to see the matches as I am working a Free Futsal Clinic hosted by Albuquerque Super F League.

What a relief-Things are looking up for Puntarenas FC

Sunday, 09 November 08, 02:08 AM

It appears there was an agreement between PFC and CCSS. Tomorrow Puntarenas FC will play a historic game against Ramonense in Jaco. First ever in Jaco.
If everything falls into plan it appears PFC could return to their home stadium.
What a relief. It would be great for the fans in Puntarenas to have the team they love return home. That was according to http://pfc.co.cr and http://puntarenasfc.net.
Not that Jaco does not deserve a team of their own but this is Puntarenas's team.
Hopefully they can put the nightmare behind them and build a championship team.
I love Puntarenas FC. Goool Sharks.

What a relief. Puntarenas FC draws dispites off the field challenges

Monday, 03 November 08, 02:57 AM

I have been holding off for a week to Blog this but it is time. I was relieved today, Puntarenas FC had a draw against Host Carmelita. Recently Puntarenas FC has been through some real off the field challenges. I am not going to go through the details of Puntarenas FC's recent challenges as I am grasping the situation down there myself. Basically, Puntarenas FC has been homeless for the past week. It appears PFC is going through some tough economic challenges. See article at Click Here for the article in Spanish .
Click article translated in English via google
I will let PFC official statement state the news. Due to an action taken by the Mayor, PFC has been left searching for a place to train and play their home games.
It appears a city Jaco, south of Puntarenas FC could possibly be the new home. I am just shocked that Mayor of Puntarenas would take strong actions a day before a huge game and when the season is ending in a couple of weeks. As I am not judging who is right or who is wrong, I think think any kind of action should have taken place at the end of the season. A community that loves Soccer and their beloved PFC, the community has lost their team. Now they will have to travel to Puntarenas FC's new home to see their beloved team. The fans are the ones who loses out the most.
Their official website (Spanish) is http://pfc.co.cr or another site http://puntarenasfcnet.blogspot.com/
I pray Puntarenas FC will come out of this very strong and build a strong Futbol team for years to come. I also pray for the community of Puntarenas as they now have to traval to see their Puntarenas FC which I am sure many will be unable to. It's not fair.

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim-saw them finally

Friday, 31 October 08, 01:36 AM

I finally got to see TSG 1899 Hoffenheim the past Sunday. Tape delay but I got to see them beat Hamburg. Hamburg is now dropped to number 3 and Hoffenheim is in 1st. I really like to see Hoffenheim do something this season. It would be a sweet story as a team got promoted two years in a row and make huge noise in the 1st Division in Bundesliga. Long season to go, anything can happen but so far it is a sweet story.

I smell the burrito-CD Chivas wins againts America

Monday, 27 October 08, 12:55 AM

I can smell the breakfast burrito. CD Chivas Guadalajara beats CD America.
My friend and I had a beat if Chivas wins, he buys me a breakfast burrito and if America wins I buy him a Breakfast Burrito. A fun tradition we had for the past three years.
